Nursing and Supply Chain as Critical Partners in Enterprise-Level Efforts to Prevent Hemodialysis Associated Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections: A Case Study
Overall, our results suggest that standardizing the supply of HD-CVC end caps (which are a critical link in the infection prevention chain) was associated with a reduction in CLABSIs among patients undergoing HD. In addition, the close collaboration between supply chain and nursing was instrumental to the success of our endeavor and may serve as a model for other health systems wanting to pursue similar efforts.
